Very disturbing stuff, I think.
See, I'm against capital punishment in all but the very few cases where a person demonstrates that he/she will definitely kill many in the future if allowed to go free. Killing a cop is not enough to get a death sentence from Judge ThePete. The whole idea of one human determining the life or death of another seems terribly wrong at it's very core.
That said, how do you feel about killing someone who commits crimes? Are you for it? If so, why not prove it to yourself by listening to the recordings in the audio or video versions of the July 17, 2007 edition of Democracy Now? You can get them here:

It's just the voices of the white men with the power executing two black men (Ivon Ray Stanley and Alpha Otis O'Daniel were the ones being killed) so really it's pretty abstract. It's only really powerful if you understand what the words represent.
I suppose if you really believe in the death penalty, these tapes won't sway you at all.
Maybe I'm just a member of the choir, preaching to myself. .
